Homelessness and housing solutions

NEW DATE

We are pleased to confirm the new date for our postponed conference - Homelessness and housing solutions.

This conference will now be held on Friday, 28 April in the Boulevard Room, Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. Our conference program remains virtually unchanged and we thank all speakers who have re-confirmed their participation so promptly.

Conference overview

As we commence the new year with an affordable housing task force to be formed and a renewed homelessness agreement, now is the time to examine Australia's progress in tackling homelessness and providing secure housing solutions.

The conference will present the latest AHURI evidence on the homelessness system in Australia, examples of housing solutions for formerly homeless people or those at risk of homelessness and a big picture examination of the support services required to create housing stability for low-income Australians.

Who should attend?

This is a national conversation, and we encourage policy-makers and practitioners from across Australia to join us, including:

Federal and state/territory government policy-makers from the housing, social policy and human service sectors

Social/community housing and homelessness practitioners and service providers
